Tonight the ladies will preside ovel
the flowers for the last time this year
Tonight the blooms and blossoms
Southern California. and Los Angeles ii
particular, will be seen in all their pris
tine purity. Tonight the young ladie
will have their last opportunity of eat
ing ice cream at the expense of the gen.
erous youth, und'r the auspices of th'
matrons of the Flower Festival Society
who wisely concluded that it was bettel
to stop while the public was not weary
than to drag on several days and tire
everybody. They concluded that they
had every reason to be satisfied with
the success of this years entertainment
for it is certain that the profits will
amount TO more than the entire receipts
were last year. Besides, the ladies
themselves were beginning to feel
fatigued, and no wonder. FOL
they have been ard work
for three weeks past and they la
bored under great disadvantages at
the start. 1t was big contract which
they undertook when they decided to
enter an unfinished building and put it
into cxhibit4 BILE trim in SO short time;
but the result shows that their efforts
were appreciated. To night being the
last occasion on which the people will
have a chance to see the brilliant aud
beautiful fora of this part of the State,
it is de sired to make it an occasion long
to be remembered. To accomplish this
end the ladies ask that every one who
has flowers of any kind to spare, send
them to the pavilion early in the day.
Anticip 1ting enormous receipts OF flow
ers early this morning the ladies will
assemble before 10 O'Clock in order to
handle and properly arrange the bios
SONS. The largest attendance OF the
season is also expected this afternoon
and evening, and fates permitting the
Floral Festival will end this year in q
blaze OF glory.
THE ATTENDANCE
Yesterday afternoon was hardly up to the
standard. but in the evening there was
large number who visited the pavilion.
There were several new features which
drew the residents away from home,
chief of which was the bicycle tourna.
ment which took place about half past
nine o'clock. There was not much
change in the floral designs, but few
new ones were noticed. During the
day new booth was created at which
was sold in the evening large edition
of 1.-THE Olive Leaf" issued by the
students of the Los Angeles College.
This publication was issued in neat
form and was geographically very at
tractive. The matter within the covers
was light and suitable to the occasion,
but the young ladies seemed to take II
for granted that "Young gentlemen
who delight in ladies' society were in
their element" whereas, so far as the
observer could determine, the reverse
was the case. The booth occupied by
this leaf was an addition 10 the
Festival, both in appearance and
in its contents, so freely distrib'
uted at twenty-five cents each.
The tableaux were especially interesting
last night and were warmly ap-
plauded, and the wheelmen's parade
was enviably watched by the young.
The receipts on Thursday night were as
follows: Ice cream, $3.50; dining room,
$64. SIS; candy. $Sl SO; Lemonade, $50;
